About David

My name is David Johnston. I recently graduated from Fairfield University with a B.S. in Finance. Before Fairfield, I was a sergeant in the United States Army. My advanced individual training was in artillery as a Forward Observer. Before I was a Forward Observer, I was a Automated Field Artillery Tactical Data Systems Specialist. After the military, I relentlessly pursued my interest in the financial services industry by studying finance in school. I graduated in under three years and now am working on getting a job. Two months ago I signed up to become a Protoge in the ACP mentorship program. It was the best decision I made in the entire career search process. I am married and have a six week old baby as well as two young boxer dogs. Life is busy. I try to play squash as much as possible.
